00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 1: The Around the League Podcast Totally one the Trent richards Entree.

2
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:12,799
Speaker 1: Welcome to another edition of the Around the League Podcast.

3
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: I'm Greg Rosenthal and I am joined by a couple

4
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 1: of heroes, Mark Sessler and Chris Westling. How about that

5
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: for a different order, That was you kind of threw

6
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: the whole room into a minor frenzy. I would say

7
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,159
Speaker 1: this room is anything but a frenzy right now, but

8
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: it's a little edgy. It's been edgy around the office today,

9
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 1: which is surprising for in early June day. We should

10
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: be kicking it up. But where we've got a lot

11
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 1: of planning there, it seems like there's arguing going on there.

12
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 1: It's been I'm I'm lacking sleep. I'm slept in three days.

13
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: I haven't been sleeping much either. Let's clarify something. It

14
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: is the two of you that seemed to be at

15
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: each other all morning. Well, we've been arguing. We've got

16
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: our big making the Leap series coming up next week,

17
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: and we feel pastly about some of these players. And uh,

18
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 1: there was some arguing elsewhere in the newsroom. It just

19
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,199
Speaker 1: wasn't the two of us. There were some some tense

20
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: things going on. What do you think it is. Twitter

21
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: has started to aggravate me with the Colin Kaepernick talk.

22
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm I'm a little upset. Well, let's get

23
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: into it. Then you mentioned Kaepernick gold standard is here

24
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 1: behind the glass? What's happening too much? I'm heated about

25
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: this cap Talc too. I know it's rare that you

26
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: bring up a story before the show even starts to

27
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: get our opinions on it. We were spinning gold and

28
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: I was saying, let's save it for the podcast. Let's

29
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: do some news, alright. So Colin Kaepernick signed his six year,

30
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty six million dollar extension on Wednesday.

31
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: According to NFL media insider Ian Rappaport, sixty one million

32
00:01:55,560 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: dollars is guaranteed. We believe it's up to one x

33
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: million dollars. So we're still waiting to see all the

34
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: details and what the base salary is. But sixty one

35
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:10,239
Speaker 1: million dollars guaranteed would be the highest for any quarterback

36
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: in NFL history. Are we a little surprised that Kaepernick

37
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: got this much? Gauap Mark Sessler, Well, I think with

38
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: with these a the contract happening at all is not

39
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: a surprise to any of us, perhaps the guaranteed money

40
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: to some degree, except when you have one of these

41
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: franchise quarterbacks. There's really these Every time we get one

42
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 1: of these top potential top ten passers, the number is

43
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: gonna keep climbing as well it should for a guy

44
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: like Kaeperno city and dance chair is so different. Market

45
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: is just looking me in the eyes like like we're

46
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: on a first date or something. This intense to build

47
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: some semblance of community. After spending the last four or

48
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: five hours where the two of you arguing to a

49
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: degree where I just had to put on my headphones

50
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 1: and engage in different channels of content. It was. It

51
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 1: was unsettled, genuine frosty nous, unlike some of the Bunsen

52
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: burner blowtorching that goes on up here. But we can

53
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: all agree on Kaepernick, right, Chris, Yeah, And I want

54
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: to see. I don't believe it's really sixty one million guaranteed.

55
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: I think NFL media insider Ian Rappaport reported that after

56
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 1: every year there are guarantees that there are different plateaus

57
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: they'll have to hit in order to get those guaranteed.

58
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: Watch out there is actually a diminutive shadowy league figure

59
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: walking through the door right now, when you're questioning Mr oh,

60
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: it is the n rappaport walking through it now, I

61
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: mean he's gonna be upset you're questioning, questioning his reporting here.

62
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: I'm actually referencing what he reported that there that every

63
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: single year the guarantees will come up again, which to

64
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: me doesn't make them guaranteed. They're not guaranteed. Then yeah,

65
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: I think I think we'll find out that there's not

66
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: really sixty one million guaranteed either way. It's a move

67
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: that the forty I had to make. Right say, when

68
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: we were talking just last show about the quarterbacks that

69
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: are up for contract, or maybe it was last week,

70
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: we all thought Kaepernick was the one that had to happen.

71
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: The question always comes up, and this came up in

72
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: your twitter feed. I know, Chris is calin Kaepernick worth it.

73
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: You were a little fired up about that. Well, I

74
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: don't understand how anybody would think that he's not Where

75
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: does it? Where does anybody still developing? He's still developing.

76
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: So he started twenty three games in his career, has

77
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: a ninety four passer rating eight yards per attempt, and

78
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: isn't even a good passer that those are probably the

79
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 1: best passing states passing stats for the first twenty three

80
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: games of anybody in history, and he's not even a

81
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: good passer. And I think San Francisco has is making

82
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 1: a comment about their belief a and the commitment of Kaepernick,

83
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: who by all accounts is one of the hardest working

84
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: guys out there, and also his ceiling. Where in Cincinnati

85
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: there obviously in a in a real issue in terms

86
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: of what to do with their quarterbacks contract. Is that's

87
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 1: a guy who I think we've seen Andy Dalton ceiling,

88
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: and I think they think they've seen Andy Dalton ceiling

89
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs with Alex Smith the same way, we've

90
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 1: heard that the Bengals owner wanted to take Kaepernick. Had

91
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 1: they done that, we'd be writing a story today about

92
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: Cincinnati re upping with their young quarterback who is only

93
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 1: going to get better. Instead, they're in a hill of

94
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: trouble because they took the wrong guy. Of Imagining this

95
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: Bengals house with Andy Dalton ceiling a topic and everyone's

96
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: like ducking, Marvin Lewis is bent over and A. J.

97
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: Green's like, what the heck van the ceiling? Metaphorically, that's

98
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: what's going on. And it makes it such an interesting

99
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 1: deal for Kaepernick because I agree with you West that

100
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 1: he's worth it. I think all good starting quarterbacks are

101
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: worth it. I think Jake Cutler is worth it. Anyone

102
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: that's an above average starting quarterbacks worth it because what's

103
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: the alternative. You're not you have to spend that salary

104
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: cap money on someone quarterbacks if they make it to

105
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 1: the free market. You know, Colin Kaepernick would get paid

106
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: thirty million dollars a year. Who knows. I mean, you

107
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: need it. If you don't want to pay twenty million

108
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: dollars for Colin Kaepernick, fine, here's your quarterback, Josh Freeman.

109
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: There you go, here's your quarterback. Or look at what

110
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: the Bills did with Ryan Fitzpatrick. Wasn't a franchise quarterback,

111
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: so they paid him ten million dollars a year for

112
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: six years, cut him after a few years. General management,

113
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: coach let lose their job. They're forced to trade up

114
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 1: for E. J. Manuel, who you may not work out.

115
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: That's where your franchise is without a franchise quarter You

116
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 1: make a perfect point because when you find that guy

117
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: and then it's a no brainer to commit to him.

118
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: The scouts around the country for the forty Niners, all

119
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: the henchmen in the front office, all the assistant coaches

120
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,919
Speaker 1: can go home to their wives and say, we're in

121
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: San Francisco for the long haul. This is We're not

122
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: about to blow this operation up and move again for

123
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: the eighth time. When you don't have a quarterback. Everyone's

124
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: in you know, real hot water, potentially being fired season

125
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: a season. Not to talk about Harbor necessarily, but I

126
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: think this this sort of says this whole organization in

127
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: our vision is in place. Well, I don't know if

128
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: the Harbaugh family should feels comfortable he'll be gainfully employed.

129
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: There's no doubt about that. We don't be comfortable. Yes,

130
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: and he uh his situation added some instability to this

131
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: franchise over the offseason. This contract, like Mark you mentioned,

132
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: at some stability. I agree he's worth it, but it

133
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: is still interesting that we're talking about a guy that

134
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: still needs to develop as a passer getting this kind

135
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: of contract. I think he's worth it even if he

136
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: doesn't become a top five quarterback, but I don't think

137
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: he's there now. Steve Young on ESPN this week had

138
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: some comments that, you know, he should tie his legs

139
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: together in training camp and not leave the pocket because

140
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: he's not good at getting past his first read, and

141
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: he leaves the pocket too early after the first read.

142
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: So they're giving all this money and betting this big

143
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: on a guy that is still a little raw, like

144
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: we don't know what his ceiling is. Isn't this a

145
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: team last year that didn't have a second read for

146
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: half the season they didn't have anyone on the field.

147
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: Thank you, you're for for most of the season. Your

148
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: number one wide receiver is a guy who hasn't gotten

149
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: open in five years, and Kwan Bulden, he doesn't get open.

150
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: He makes plays at the point of the catch. So

151
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: that's your read, and you're seeing a guy who has

152
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: a cornerback draped all over him. Your second option is

153
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: a is a tight end who stays in the block

154
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: most of the time Vernon Davis, and you don't have

155
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: a third option for most of the year. Once Crabtree

156
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 1: got healthy, Kaepernick led the NFL and touchdown to interception

157
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: ratio down the stretch. R G three is gonna be

158
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: interest fascinating to watch this year. Andrew luck is obviously

159
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: going to be fun, but for one guy for the

160
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:50,599
Speaker 1: next five years, to meet. Kaepernick is the most fascinating

161
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: of these young quarterback because I don't know where he goes.

162
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: I think we could look at this in three and

163
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: three or four years and it might be viewed as

164
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: a slight disappointment, this contract and Kaepernick's career, or he

165
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 1: could turn into the bionic future of the NFL and

166
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,719
Speaker 1: we could all be servants to Colin Kaepernick and he

167
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: could own everything. I mean, he is the type of

168
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: quarterback that gets Ron Daworski to say he has a

169
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: chance to be the best quarterback ever. And that's because

170
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: he he has things that other quarterbacks don't have in

171
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: terms of his arm strength and his foot's beating everything.

172
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: We haven't even touched on his playoff success. And ultimately,

173
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: in the NFL, whether we like it or not, quarterbacks

174
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: are judged based on third down conversion, how they play

175
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: latent games, and how they play in the postseason. Colin

176
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: Kaepernick's postseason averages twenty yards per game more passing in

177
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: fifty yards more per game rushing. That's amazing. He averages

178
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: almost ninety yards per game rushing and I'll never forget

179
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: in that NFC Championship game against the Falcons, and I

180
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,959
Speaker 1: was sitting in the office with Greg and that dome

181
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: was as loud as I've ever seen it. It was

182
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: utter chaos in there. In the forty Niners were frazzled

183
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: out of the gate. They did not they had They struggled,

184
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: and Kaepernick was so cool under pressure, and that's just

185
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: not something you can say of a lot of a

186
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: lot of quarterbacks. And when we saw him on the

187
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: field before the Super Bowl, it was almost as if

188
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 1: he didn't even realize, not that he didn't realize, but

189
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: he was completely uncowed by the By the stage he

190
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: was on, it was like, He's just gonna go do

191
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: what he does. I think they love his approach and

192
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: his hard work. He he was frightening. They should cut

193
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,199
Speaker 1: a million of this contract, slice it off and give

194
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: it to the poor guy that's catching Kaepernick's warm up throws.

195
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: They have this insane routine where Kaepernick stands ten feet

196
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: away from some guy and throws the ball as hard

197
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,199
Speaker 1: as he possibly can at him. I've never seen anything

198
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: quite like it. And that guy now has no hands.

199
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 1: When when will you have pro football focus onto the

200
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,439
Speaker 1: show next week or next month? Remind me to bring

201
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 1: up their tweet from this afternoon when they said, if

202
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 1: you remove all of Colin Kaepernick's runs, he's a below

203
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: average quarterback. Okay, you know what, you remove all of

204
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning's touchdowns, he doesn't have any touchdown. I mean,

205
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: how are you going to remove one of the things

206
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: the guy does best. If he took away manning throws,

207
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: I feel like he wouldn't be one thing, one last

208
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: thing with the forty Niners. It's a It is a

209
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: credit to Harbaugh and Greg Roman and that coaching staff

210
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: that we forget how bold of a move it was

211
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: to sit Alex Smith. It doesn't look that way now

212
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: because we know the ceiling of these two quarterbacks, but

213
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: some teams would sit on that veteran starter for far

214
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: too long, and Kaepernick wouldn't be in this situation right now.

215
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 1: And I think if you talked to football players, how

216
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: they feel about their coaching staffs is based on how

217
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: smart their coaching staffs are, and players love coaches who

218
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: can outsmart the rest of the league's coaches. And that

219
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: Kaepernick thing was. Greg likes to say fortune favors the bold,

220
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: a bold move where they felt totally confident they were

221
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: doing the right thing for the franchise and Hardby expressed

222
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: so much confidence in Kaepernick this offseason, campaigned for him

223
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: and this kind tract says more than he could ever do.

224
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 1: I mean, remember the hotel incident. Kaepernick as accused that

225
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: no one in the inside that organization was ever too

226
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: worried about it. It It turned out, Uh, it looks like

227
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: nothing is going to come of it. And they speak

228
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: loudest with their contract that he's going to be the

229
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: guy for the next six years. Greg questioned for the

230
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: boss when it comes to Dan hanss who is Where's

231
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: you on vacation? He is in Texas right now. I

232
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: can't believe it's coming. It hads taken this long for

233
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 1: him to come up. When he is at some point

234
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 1: given a figure of guaranteed money, will we be impressed

235
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: with that number? Um, it'll come out in the press

236
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: like it's a really big number and that way, you know,

237
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: Dan can walk around the office with his head held high.

238
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:47,959
Speaker 1: But you'll have to really look at the fine print

239
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: to see that it's not all it's cracked up. To me.

240
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: I can't wait to break down the stats and this

241
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 1: because Dan definitely writes more more post per hour than

242
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: I do interesting. If that was the criteria for big

243
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: time contract, you know who would be the highest paid.

244
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,959
Speaker 1: A t L writer Kevin Patrick coming at with the

245
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: morning Cheft post per minute. Watch what you asked for, Chris?

246
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: Watch what you asked? Jamichael Finley back in the news

247
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: this week. At the end of last week, we found

248
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: out that the mystery team that he visited was the

249
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: New England Patriots, which is interesting. We also heard on

250
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:30,079
Speaker 1: Wednesday from Ian Rappaport that he met with the Steelers

251
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: team doctor, that the Raiders had some interest, and that

252
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: Jamichael Finley is still waiting for clearance and waiting to sign,

253
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: but he still is the top our best available free

254
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: agents list. What do you make of the latest Jamichael

255
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: Finley news, Westling, Uh, the Raiders news surprised me. I

256
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 1: didn't know they were in on him, or uh, we're

257
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: interested Mike Freeman of the Bleacher's Report. UH had reported

258
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: that at least six teams were in quiet pursuit of Finley,

259
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 1: which Ian translated as kind of hanging on the fringes

260
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: and waiting to see what happens with their doctors clearing him.

261
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: It doesn't really matter who's interested until their doctors clear him,

262
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: you know, you know how I translate it. It's all

263
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 1: quiet because it's June. He's been free agent since March,

264
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: so if anyone really wanted to take a chance, they

265
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: could have there waiting for the medical report. Well, would

266
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: we put the Steelers in the potential driver's seat considering

267
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 1: that their team doctor is his personal physician and has

268
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: cleared him. The Steelers, I believe, our thirty second out

269
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: of thirty two teams in salary cap space. Maybe they

270
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: can get him for a usfl one dollar deal this sea.

271
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: They aren't the type of team that usually make this

272
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: movie there, but I would love it is I think

273
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: the Lamar Woodley release was post dated June one, so

274
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: they get salary kept relief. This week Update Update Finley

275
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: was the top of our post that we did this

276
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: week best available free Agents, just because he's the only

277
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: guy you could see really making a difference as an

278
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: above average starter of guys that are out there. I'll

279
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: list some other names on unleist see if anyone strikes

280
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: your fancy. Kevin Williams, Santonio Holmes, is Sante Samuel, Dustin Keller,

281
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: travel Warton, whatever happened with him, I guess he's gonna retire.

282
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: James Harrison, Paris Lennon. Remember the Super Bowl when he

283
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: was starting. It was a great story. Hey, this guy

284
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: he was in the XFL, he's in the World League,

285
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 1: played with he hate me, and he was in the

286
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Right he played in some rec league with

287
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: your daughter. Uh, he's still available. Whatever happened to him.

288
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: Josh Freeman is back out there. Ed Reid wants to

289
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: play football again. Not a not a sexy list. Kevin

290
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: Williams made a little bit of news. He basically dared

291
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: the Patriots to call him today, tell him I'm available.

292
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: I think it's Dustin Keller's name on that list. That

293
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: is interesting because what team doesn't wind up with Finley?

294
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: Potentially the team like New England might they talked about

295
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: for a while. I think Heller is the most interesting

296
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: guy because what a productive player he was for the

297
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: Jets and we never saw him with the Dolphins. Well,

298
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: he's like Finlay. You have to wait to see if

299
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: his medicals check out. James Harrison was kind of interesting

300
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: to see if the Steelers maybe broach that subject in August. Uh,

301
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: they are reportedly thinking about resigning Brett Keisel once training

302
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: camp starts. Kevin Williams sound team in my team, Sessler,

303
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 1: it's pretty safe to say you're gonna block the Steelers.

304
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: They have to be unanimous. We've been talking about if

305
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: you haven't been listing on the podcast, we're looking for

306
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: the team of around the League for two thousand fourteen.

307
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: Mr Wesseling believes the Steelers strong candidate. No. I I

308
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: believe in compromise. And what I tweeted last night is

309
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: how I feel if the three of you and the

310
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: four of you including Patri wanna pick Pittsburgh as your team,

311
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: have a nice time send me a postcard. There's no

312
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: way that because I still have you know, blood coursing

313
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: through my body, I still have a soul. This will

314
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: not happen. I mean that you to have. So where

315
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: is this postcard? Going? To send it to my house?

316
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: I'll give you my address. I feel like it would

317
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: be sea somewhere, because if you weren't with us, you'd

318
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: be You can't honestly expect a Cleveland, a lifelong Browns fan,

319
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:19,199
Speaker 1: to sit around on Week one with my black and

320
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: gold pom pomps cheering for the Steelers. You understand why

321
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 1: that makes zero sense. Beyond a cold analytical study. Well,

322
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: I feel like you. There is duality in you. You

323
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 1: can have a coot antical analytical side and a warm, friendly,

324
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: loyal side to the brown. The duality side is saying, gentlemen,

325
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: have a nice time. Let me know how it goes.

326
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: I ain't changeing on this one. Marcel Darius is back

327
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 1: in the news. He got arrested once again, this time

328
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 1: for drag racing essentially, and it's a couple of mrmeaners

329
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: and he crashed his car in to a tree right

330
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:05,439
Speaker 1: in front of a Mongolian buffet. And it especially stands

331
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,479
Speaker 1: out because it comes just days after he met with

332
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 1: the media and Buffalo and and told the media the bills, no,

333
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 1: I'm not the type type of guy that's going to

334
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 1: get into trouble off the field. They know this isn't me.

335
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 1: And this, of course is after his previous arrest. So

336
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,640
Speaker 1: this is the guy now that a couple of times

337
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: has gotten into trouble, and then right after he got

338
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: into trouble, got into trouble again, and now he could

339
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: be getting suspended. What do we make of Marcel Darius.

340
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: I feel like you passed up to your headline here.

341
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: What is what can one eat at a Mongolian buffet? Yeah,

342
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: I was gonna say that. The main takeaway from me was,

343
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 1: for the first time ever covering the sport, I was

344
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: able to nestle the words Mongolian buffet into a post

345
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 1: and I was like, day over, and I feel like

346
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: you just walk in, grab a five thigh bone off

347
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 1: the buffet and start munching on it like Genghis Khan.

348
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 1: I think Mongolian it's essentially just a Chinese restaurant called

349
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 1: Mongolian Buffet. Yeah, I think they've till they've gone marketing

350
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: wise towards you know, Mongolian, the Mongolian aspe. We'm not

351
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 1: sure that we are really showing our ignorance here of

352
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 1: other cultures. I'm shocked the two of you have not

353
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: eaten a Mongolian, but our one listener from Inner Mongolia

354
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: will be perturbed. We do have one listener from Inner Mongolia.

355
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 1: On Wednesday, we learned that Darius was racing against one

356
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: of his teammates and Mark you wrote this post. Jerry

357
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: Hughes says, was I there? Yes, I was driving my car.

358
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 1: I was on the street while Darius was on the

359
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: street driving his vehicle. As well because of legal matters. Um,

360
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: they're not going to say too much about it. Darius

361
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: was arrested for reckless endangerment, reckless driving. And like we said,

362
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: this is a couple of times that this happened. You

363
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: remember last year he was suspended by the team for

364
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 1: being late to meetings. Immediately after he was suspended late

365
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: for meetings, he was late for meetings the next day.

366
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: So this is it just seems a little crazy. He's

367
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 1: like the spicol you of the NFL. It is funny

368
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: because well, funny is not the word. But we are

369
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: gathering quite a squad of suspended or likely to be

370
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:14,959
Speaker 1: suspended guys. Let's potentially Darius on that list, right, Aldon Smith,

371
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: Robert Mathis, Darryl Washington. Right, this is a defense to

372
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 1: be reckoned with. Here. You've got Brandon Browner and Will

373
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: Hill and your secondary there's some building blocks. Let's go

374
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:31,719
Speaker 1: to offense. It's possible Ray Rice gets a suspension barring

375
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 1: the earth crumbling in upon itself, Josh Gordon will be

376
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: suspended for what will be most of the season, and

377
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 1: you've got Justin Blackman. Is this not a team that

378
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: you if we can get one, you know, ill behaved

379
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: quarterback to do something between now in September, you've got

380
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 1: a playoff squad. You know what, if we didn't have

381
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 1: to worry about Shadowy League figures, we could just like

382
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 1: throw them Michael Vick and then have like the Longest

383
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: Yard remake. Shadowy League figures have entered the room. They

384
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: are circling us. If this is the last you hear

385
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: from us, we love you all. Um, You're right a

386
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: lot of talented players, and there are another fifteen guys

387
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: that have received minor suspensions. Who are that's your depth.

388
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: It's sort of some of your no namers. Now what

389
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,439
Speaker 1: we should do is we couldn't make this into a

390
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: written piece the all suspended team. Perhaps get it sponsored. Um,

391
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 1: this is how you become a boss. Mark, We're not allowed.

392
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: I was under the impression that was hands off content.

393
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: That's fair to say. We really can't do that at all.

394
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 1: Let's move on. Super Bowl. That is how I become

395
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 1: the boss. When they ship Greg right out the door.

396
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:45,439
Speaker 1: Super Bowl fifty coming up in two thousands sixteen. It

397
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: is not Super Bowl L, no Roman numerals anymore, not

398
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: that anyone would have called it Super Bowl L. But

399
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 1: they are officially calling it super Bowl five zero on

400
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: all the logos. They released the logo today and Goldman

401
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: seems very excited about this news. I don't know if

402
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 1: you're upset or not. Yeah, how could you not take

403
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 1: the opportunity to just make the super Bow really small

404
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 1: in the L at the end huge? That would have

405
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: been an incredible marketing decision. This is this is why,

406
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: if anyone's listening overseas, we need Zack the gold Standard

407
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 1: to get involved with the promotion of the NFL across

408
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: the border. I think he is the man to take

409
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: this game to the next continent. That this this was

410
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,640
Speaker 1: news that a lot of people were interested in. Today,

411
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: you guys did not seem as interesting, but I thought

412
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 1: it was highly interesting when the initial report, which turned

413
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: out to be false, with it all super Bowls from

414
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:52,880
Speaker 1: then on would be regular numerals, not U, not Roman

415
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,679
Speaker 1: numeral who. I don't know if anyone reported that somebody

416
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,439
Speaker 1: was floating out there, and I thought it was they

417
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 1: don't want this big L that's associated with makes sense

418
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: to me, Yeah, makes sense to me. It just looks bad,

419
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 1: the big Super Bowl L. But they are going back

420
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: to the Roman numerals after fifties, so once it's fifty one,

421
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: it will be l I. People tweeting super Bowl Long Island. Sure,

422
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: that's that's the connection super Bowl Lee. Nah, I don't know.

423
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: I mean, it's still gonna look wacky with the l I.

424
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 1: Don't you think it's a little bit pretentious to be

425
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: using Roman numerals. Well, and someone tweeted that they were

426
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 1: concerned for children, the children of the earth, because when

427
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: you strip Roman numerals out of the out of society,

428
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: it's the children that suffer because they won't that's their

429
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: only real in roads to learning that kind of number.

430
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: And well, let's be honest, the Super Bowl is all

431
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 1: Roman numerals have going for it at this point. So

432
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: Roman numerals are like the Tasmanian devil or something, or

433
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: the Dodo bird. Children will be deprived of seeing them.

434
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 1: The average you know, your average person who's dipped into

435
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,640
Speaker 1: the culture. There aren't a lot of other ways that

436
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: Roman numerals are playing a big part of it. Our society.

437
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 1: The passenger pige and get out of your Roman numerals, kids.

438
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: You're worried. Kids are gonna be growing and I'm not

439
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: gonna I saw adults on Twitter, raising this as a

440
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 1: genuine concern in some cases that it's the future, the

441
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: younger generation that really takes the hit. Here after through

442
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 1: five years of Twitter, I haven't seen one adult that

443
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: you there. I don't work the word children a child

444
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 1: into a tweet and have it be meaningful. You know

445
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,199
Speaker 1: what I learned with this all super Bowl thing was

446
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: super Bowl one through four did not use Roman numerals.

447
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 1: So what about the fact that we're always going back

448
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 1: and we're calling it super Bowl three with Joe Namath,

449
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 1: I I I shouldn't do that. It's all market. Well

450
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: that's like retroactive class because super Bowl I I I

451
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: just looks good. I don't think so. I I think

452
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: go to the numbers permanently. Yeah, that's my stance. We're Americans. Well,

453
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: so you you're essentially just siding with the corporation that

454
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: pays your Yes, your you need to in your in

455
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: your monthly installments of I need to make up for

456
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 1: the last segment. Yes, what's up, Zack? Do you think

457
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 1: we now need to go back to the old, like

458
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: every super Bowl has a new logo or we stick

459
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 1: in with some kind of standardization on the logo. Well,

460
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: they do make a new logo every Super Bowl. Don't

461
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 1: say they have the new they have the city outline,

462
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: But like, do you think we need to get crazy?

463
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: And do you like the I don't know. So many

464
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 1: of the Super Bowls have had these weird posts. He's right.

465
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: You go back to the seventies and there were every

466
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 1: year was a wild new dig low painting. Yeah, brand

467
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 1: sounds awesome. We gotta find we gotta find some way

468
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 1: to spice up the Minnesota super Bowl. Still that they

469
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 1: should just do Minnesota super Bowl really really really nice.

470
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,919
Speaker 1: We're gonna let what's up? Do not forget about the

471
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: eight miles of skyways. By the way, this is gonna

472
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: be the longest news segment ever. We miss you, Dan Handas.

473
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: Let's wrap it up with the Buccaneers backfield. Mark sel

474
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 1: You wrote a post earlier this week about Jeff Tedford,

475
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 1: their offensive coordinator, doesn't plan to give all the work

476
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 1: to Doug Martin. He plans to alternate running backs this season. Well,

477
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,919
Speaker 1: I don't really believe a whole lot that's said at

478
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 1: this time in terms of that kind of stuff. Year

479
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: after year, June everyone looks perfect in June. Everyone's going

480
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 1: to be a big part of the offense. I think

481
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: Wesley Downstairs calculated a Bengals offense that has roughly seven

482
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 1: players that will see three or four hundred snaps this

483
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: season across the board, they're gonna have nine thousand total

484
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:45,159
Speaker 1: yards all making the candidates on the Bengals offense. It

485
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 1: is uh, it's fiction. And and you know down in

486
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,959
Speaker 1: Tampa the way and I don't often dispense fantasy football

487
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 1: advice for good reason. Yeah, I'm not someone you'd point

488
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: to for that for that kind of direction. But Doug

489
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: Martin three D and sixty eight touch is two years ago.

490
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: At that point, had that coaching staff stayed in place,

491
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 1: you look at him as a guy that you could

492
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: if you want to start your draft with a running back.

493
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 1: He's a lock solid guy to get a mountain full

494
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 1: of carries every year. I don't know. There is a

495
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 1: lot of talent in that backfield. They do things differently

496
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: now that could be like the new version of Shanahan's

497
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: clown Car, where you don't know who's gonna get the

498
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 1: start each week and you're driving everyone nuts. I like

499
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: mountain full of carries. I just pictured Doug Martin going

500
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 1: besides a matterhorn picking it up like a suitcase on

501
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 1: the field. I imagine the clown car going up the

502
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: mountain with the yodoing Redskins teams back before pre you know,

503
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:44,400
Speaker 1: in the pre alfre. Yeah, well, I think I'm with you.

504
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 1: My takeaway here was more of a fantasy football thing.

505
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 1: From the NFL perspective, we know he wasn't gonna be

506
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 1: used as heavily as Shianna, who believed in a one

507
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 1: back backfield. But I think what they're telling this is

508
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:56,880
Speaker 1: we use the third round draft pick on a pass

509
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: catching running back. The big takeaway is Doug Doug Martin

510
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: will catches many passes this year, and they have Mike

511
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: James and Bobby Rainey, who aren't great, but they're fine

512
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,439
Speaker 1: as three and four running backs. They have depth. He

513
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 1: mentioned that he wants to play two to three guys.

514
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 1: You have to alternate it again, it's probably just you.

515
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: You back up that Doug Martin projection from carries to

516
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: and it's a team that said, hey, let's go get

517
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: Mike Evans, let's get a gigantic tight end. We have

518
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 1: Vincent Jackson. Still they're gonna throw the ball. Tedford is

519
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 1: one of the X factors I feel like of the

520
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,919
Speaker 1: entire two thousand fourteen season. We think of the Bucks

521
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: as a potential sneaky playoff team, and it Tedford either

522
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: could come into the league like the next Mark Tressman

523
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: or the next Bobby Petrino. I don't really know. He's

524
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 1: got some he's got some talent here, but we have

525
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: no idea what he's gonna be like at the NFL level.

526
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 1: That's a massive spectrum. This. I feel like you just

527
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: opened up a not a can of warrant, but you

528
00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 1: opened up a good possibility here, a virtual cornucopia, a

529
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 1: football knowledge we can dispense on the site, in a

530
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 1: feature or on the podcast. X Factors for the two

531
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 1: tails and fourteen season. Jeff Timford right number one on

532
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 1: the list, because lord knows, we need some more series

533
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: to roll out there. We've got Making the Leap making

534
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 1: its debut next week. After that, we're gonna have a

535
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: big training camp preview. We've got some other fun stuff planned.

536
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: But we've been talking about this Making the Leap series

537
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 1: now for the last week in the offices, we're picking

538
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: our top twenty five players we think will make the

539
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 1: Leap and break out and come to national prominence. And

540
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: Spice some Sundays up and uh, the list is more

541
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: or less finalized. It's very close. And we wanted to

542
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 1: talk about some guys in today's show that we couldn't

543
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 1: quite agree on that we tried to get some sort

544
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: of consensus in the room. And these are guys we

545
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 1: wanted to put on the list, but for the most part,

546
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: they just didn't make it. One of us didn't like them,

547
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 1: or they just didn't quite make the cut for one

548
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: reason or another. And let's start at the quarterback position

549
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 1: with Jake Locker now. And we gotta admit we we think,

550
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: like a business, you gotta have some quarterbacks on the list,

551
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: right and it was hard to find any It's hard

552
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: to find good making the leap candidates at quarterback. So

553
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 1: we seriously considered Locker. I was pushing him a little bit.

554
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 1: West was very anti Locker. That's not true. If we

555
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: had space for forty candidates this year, I'd be fine

556
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: with Locker on When we were talking about cutting one

557
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: person at to add a Kyrie Robinson or something, Lockers out.

558
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 1: Hard to argue with that, and it's that hard. He's

559
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 1: like a fourth running back. Kyrie Robinson potentially that's it.

560
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: You know what the narrative is there where with Jake Locker.

561
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: I think there's some exhaustion among some of our readers

562
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: with Jake Locker. To understand, I'm not writing Jake Locker

563
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: off by any means, but of all the people we

564
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: were putting on the list, he was the one that

565
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: I was most skeptical who would really make the leap

566
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: this year? Well, he he could be a guy that's

567
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 1: on the X Factor list too, because I don't know

568
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: what to expect out of Jake Locker, and we were

569
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: gonna pair Jake Locker potentially with Justin Hunter. Sometimes we

570
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 1: put two guys on the same team together and those

571
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 1: are two really intriguing guys. And Locker when you look

572
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: at the landscape of relatively young quarterbacks that aren't rookies

573
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: that could break out, he has done something that is

574
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 1: one of the criteria for me to pick one of

575
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: these guys, and that's he's shown in the NFL that

576
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: he can be a difference maker. Now, maybe it's only

577
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: for a game or two, but if you go back

578
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: and you watch the Chargers game from last year when

579
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: Jake Locker played, and you didn't know anything else, about

580
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 1: Jake Locker, you would think this guy is the next

581
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger, and you would think he was gonna be

582
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: a future top ten quarterback. It was accurate, he made

583
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 1: smart decisions, He's wildly athletic, very uh good arm. There's

584
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 1: a lot to like about Jake Locker. I guess for me,

585
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: Ken wizzen H who worked with Ben Roethlisberger, has never

586
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 1: really said anything that convinces me he thinks that about

587
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: Jake Locker. They went out and that Zach Mettenberger is

588
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 1: not going to change the world in Tennessee, but they

589
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: are in play going into next year's draft for a

590
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: game changing quarterback. I think Locker is under as much

591
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: pressure as anyone to prove that he's gotta win this

592
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: coaching staff over. I don't want to pass up the

593
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: opportunity to let the listeners know that. Greg and I

594
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: have another lunch proposition. M Yes, this is getting Yeah,

595
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: there's a lot Wager are making a lot of side

596
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 1: ones off the show just to get my land, go

597
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: get my sandwich. Well, we have people tracking this, so

598
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 1: they have to know about that. If Justin Hunter plays

599
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 1: more snaps this year than Nate Washington, Greg Rosenthal gets

600
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: a high octane, elaborate sandwich. How easy is that one?

601
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: I kind of like that for me, right, I do. Actually,

602
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: I'm the favorite in this one would somewhere to the underdog.

603
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 1: I'm the heavy favorite. Nate Washington might not even be

604
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: on that team. Comment for three years now, Well, eventually

605
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: it'll be right. He will be right at some point. Meanwhile,

606
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: Nate Washington keeps doing well. Justin Hunter will is still roll,

607
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 1: very roll. If they have equal snaps, you will each

608
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: buy me half a sandwich. Well, it's fair to say

609
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 1: our best success on the list last year was that

610
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 1: wide receiver. And who are some of the wide receivers

611
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 1: that we did well with? Michael Floyd, Alison, Jeffrey, Josh Gordon.

612
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 1: Those are Edelman. Other than Edelman, those three have similar

613
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: profiles in that they were young guys who can make

614
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 1: big plays down the field and hadn't shown a ton

615
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 1: of consistency. Yet, when it comes to Jeffrey and Floyd,

616
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 1: they had barely shown anything. He knew that sounds exactly

617
00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 1: like DeAndre Hopkins. No, Justin Hunter isn't. Aren't they the

618
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: same sort of profile? Floyd barely did anything as a rookie.

619
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:08,799
Speaker 1: Jeffrey barely did anything as a rookie. Hunter made a

620
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,800
Speaker 1: number of game winning plays. He made some touchdowns. He

621
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 1: did not catch the ball consistently, but he made plays

622
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 1: enough to think, oh, that's why everyone likes this guy.

623
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 1: And that's the type of guy that can go from

624
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: twenty to thirty catches to seventy five in a Pro Bowl. Bet, Well,

625
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 1: your best bet is Washington somehow being cut. I think

626
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:32,759
Speaker 1: Hunter is another year away. How do we It's a

627
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:36,240
Speaker 1: tough one to evaluate when you look at Hunter making

628
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: those plays down the field. And I went back and

629
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:41,240
Speaker 1: I watched Locker and Hunter, and I have to admit

630
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 1: I came around to West's side on Locker in that

631
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 1: I just couldn't pound the table or stand on the

632
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 1: table for him, as Mike Mayock would say, because they're

633
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 1: just he's just not accurate. What does he do with

634
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:58,720
Speaker 1: the table stands on it? We should get Mike Mayock's

635
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 1: table should have been in the NFL Girl Sale. I'm

636
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 1: just saying, the table upon which Mike Mayock stands what

637
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 1: to do in the whole offseason, we could use it.

638
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 1: It's a very baron, very empty. It's a magical table.

639
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: It's hard to stand on the table for Locker when man,

640
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 1: he just goes through. He's just not that accurate. He'll

641
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: have games where you love him, but it's it's hard

642
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,399
Speaker 1: to get over a quarterback that misses guys by five.

643
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 1: You're making the leap wide receiver to be catching passes

644
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 1: from that guy. Well, I think Hunter, and I think

645
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 1: Hunter is gonna have a good season, and I think

646
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 1: someone's got to catch the ball there and and it's

647
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: gonna be him and Kendall. Right, and that's it. Let's

648
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 1: move on to one of your Cleveland Browns, Mark Sessler.

649
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:43,360
Speaker 1: Bent Tate came up for discussion, did not make the list.

650
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:46,319
Speaker 1: This is one where before the draft, I think Tate

651
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 1: would have just been like a Toby Gearhart, just a

652
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:52,800
Speaker 1: no brainer, right because even though we saw flashes in Houston,

653
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,839
Speaker 1: Cleveland had set him up and even a year ago

654
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,760
Speaker 1: they talked about bent Tit as someone that they wanted

655
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 1: and coveted to come in and be their lead back.

656
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 1: But then they go out and they draft Terence West,

657
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:08,280
Speaker 1: who is a zone running back who fits Shanahan's scheme perfectly,

658
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 1: and people in house at NFL talked about him as

659
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 1: a guy Charlie Castley who could maybe lead Cleveland and carries,

660
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 1: So that suddenly dimmed the prospects for me of Tate

661
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 1: being that Bell cow I think that's not how they're

662
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 1: going to operate. But then on top of that, after

663
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 1: the draft, they went out and got Isaiah Kraw, the

664
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 1: character issue laden guy out of Alabama State who summer

665
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:36,800
Speaker 1: saying is the most talented draftable running back this season

666
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 1: if anything, a guy that is going to steal more

667
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,360
Speaker 1: carries away from Tate if he doesn't wind up on

668
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:45,800
Speaker 1: a police blotter. I spent many a Saturday afternoon in

669
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:50,360
Speaker 1: the fall at Huka Poo's with fellow Georgia Bulldogs fans

670
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:53,840
Speaker 1: watching Isaiah Kraw as the crowd just went crazy for

671
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:57,439
Speaker 1: this guy. He's a talented, talented running back. You could

672
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:00,399
Speaker 1: tell that despite how blurry the television was the time

673
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 1: or it was Saturday afternoon. Okay, that a self imposed

674
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 1: blurs that that's what I'm getting that, or that they

675
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 1: haven't uh you know, invented HD yet in Georgia. I

676
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:18,240
Speaker 1: don't know, uh, what about the fact that the Browns

677
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 1: fan base always chooses these undrafted guys and random guys

678
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 1: at the bottom of their roster that they think are

679
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 1: suddenly be going to become heroes like Charles Johnson. Seems

680
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 1: to always happen. The differences. They now have running backs

681
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 1: in front of this guy in case it doesn't work out. Yeah,

682
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 1: I think that they are going to have a completely

683
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 1: overhauled and much more interesting running game. And it's hard

684
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,439
Speaker 1: not to when you had Willis mcgaye as your starter

685
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 1: last year, but they aren't. You know, the contract they

686
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 1: signed T two was the first indication that this isn't

687
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 1: our guy for the next four or five years. I

688
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 1: was mixed on Tate. I wouldn't have stood in the

689
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 1: way of him because of two reasons, Kyle Shanahan and

690
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:56,840
Speaker 1: that offensive line. So I mean, you're right there. Running

691
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 1: games should be exciting. Someone's got to get it. You

692
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 1: like you like Mr West. I think West is you

693
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 1: can't you just we're talking about making the leap. I

694
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 1: think if you're going running back, it's got to be

695
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,840
Speaker 1: someone that clearly is not a committee a part of committee.

696
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,800
Speaker 1: He's the lead horse. I'm confused as to what Cleveland's

697
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,359
Speaker 1: gonna do with tape. Emmanuel Sanders was a guy on

698
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 1: our list last year and we actually put him on

699
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 1: the list again this year. We're trying not to do

700
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:24,360
Speaker 1: much of that. But we thought since he changed teams

701
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:26,879
Speaker 1: and it was intriguing, we were gonna stick with him.

702
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: We've we've not changed our minds after going back and

703
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 1: looking at Emmanuel Sanders. Were not convinced he's that special

704
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 1: of a talent, and Dan doesn't. Dan was assigned to this.

705
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:40,760
Speaker 1: He was gonna do Emmanuel Sanders. So sorry, Dan, Yank,

706
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 1: you've got one less thing to do. You're getting Who's

707
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 1: he gonna get? Zane Beatles? Zane Beatles. Yes, we're looking

708
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: for a lot of What we're looking for to is

709
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 1: a lot of schematic drawings from you. Dan. On this one.

710
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 1: We want you to show how Zane Beatles gets leveraged

711
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 1: and then do that thing where you have the whole

712
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 1: play and you circle him and you draw little arrows.

713
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:08,879
Speaker 1: I argued in our meeting against Emmanuel Sanders for this

714
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:12,359
Speaker 1: idea going around. Maybe it started in Fantasy Football circles day.

715
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 1: You can just plug Sanders into Eric Decker's position and

716
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 1: he'll do exactly what Eric Decker did, which is so

717
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 1: insulting to Eric Decker. You you get insulted by a

718
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:23,839
Speaker 1: lot when it comes to Eric Decker. He's a good

719
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 1: football player, and people think he's just a product of

720
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning. We'll find out. We'll see what Immanuel Sanders

721
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 1: and what he does this year. I don't think he'll

722
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:33,919
Speaker 1: do nearly as well. I went and watched Sanders, and

723
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 1: I came away with that he had the opportunity to

724
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 1: be Antonio Brown last year. They came out of the

725
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 1: gate trying to get Sanders very involved. Uh, they couldn't

726
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 1: connect with them deep. There's a lot of miscommunications with

727
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger, specifically with Sanders that didn't happen with Brown.

728
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 1: He seemed like he's very comfortable inside the numbers. That's

729
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 1: where he's at his best. I don't think he's a

730
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:58,879
Speaker 1: special talent by any means. And then when you look

731
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 1: at the Broncos, you have well Ger inside, you have

732
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 1: Thomas inside, You're gonna have Sanders outside, and that might

733
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 1: not be his strength. I just could see him putting

734
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 1: up eight hundred yards, But I don't think he's gonna

735
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 1: blow up. Does it burn Bill Belichick's bridges? To see

736
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:15,359
Speaker 1: in Denver, West Welker and Emanuel Sanders who they went

737
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 1: You went after him last offseason. I don't think so,

738
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 1: because they didn't go after Standers this year. Some low

739
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 1: level employees already paid for that snafh who that's true,

740
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:30,240
Speaker 1: So the guy who signed Danny Amendola should be paying

741
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 1: for that too. He'll be all right. I don't get this.

742
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:34,719
Speaker 1: We write a guy off after one I'm not writing

743
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:36,959
Speaker 1: them off. But actually that that answers why they didn't

744
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: go after Emanuel Sanders. Which would you rather have Emmanuel

745
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 1: Sanders for what's he making three or four million dollars

746
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 1: a year or Danny Amendola for what he's making. That's

747
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:49,920
Speaker 1: a good question. I think Sanders. Robert Woods was another

748
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 1: guy I really wanted on the list and didn't quite

749
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 1: make it. This is a pattern here. None of my

750
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,760
Speaker 1: guys I thought I was the boss. Hold on another

751
00:40:56,880 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 1: lunch proposition. Greg Rosenthal gets Robert Woods to lead the

752
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:05,799
Speaker 1: Buffalo bills and receiving yards. I get the rest of

753
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 1: the roster. Well, but let's make this clear, I go

754
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 1: west this time. Well, I'm definitely in the underdock. I

755
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 1: recognize that. And there are stipulations though, if I if

756
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:20,360
Speaker 1: Robert Woods uh does not lead the team in receiving yards,

757
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:22,880
Speaker 1: West gets a sandwich. But if he does lead the

758
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 1: team and receiving yards, I get a sandwich and upside

759
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 1: of potato salad that was bartered down from side of

760
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 1: potato salad. That's a game changer. Down from two sandwiches

761
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 1: to a sandwich and a potato salad. And if NFL

762
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 1: dot com readers are ever wondering why our posts are sluggish,

763
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 1: to hit Twitter and put it's because this is going

764
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 1: on from six in the morning until roughly seven or

765
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 1: eight at night Western time zone every day. Zack, you

766
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 1: have to admit it's gonna be hard for you to

767
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 1: leave NFL media. Just at the point where the potato

768
00:41:56,320 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 1: salad changed the game, I did. I'm all about the

769
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 1: potato sal Yeah, game changer. Oh yeah. If you had said, well,

770
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:09,439
Speaker 1: what it does? Is it just it? Just it? That's

771
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 1: the quote for the tweet to it changes the game too.

772
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:15,359
Speaker 1: It just adds a whole level of possibilities. If if

773
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:19,759
Speaker 1: Robert Woods gets between sixty and seventy uh catches, you know,

774
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,799
Speaker 1: I'll get you a cup of diet dr Pepper or something.

775
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 1: You know, you two have a problem, and at some

776
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:30,920
Speaker 1: point are are you I believe what you're getting at

777
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 1: a spinoff propositions. No, I mean, well, that's sort of

778
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:35,720
Speaker 1: what we did a little bit. We shouldn't We shouldn't

779
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 1: be doing this. We shouldn't be doing any of this.

780
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 1: We're all gonna be fired. Why weren't you buying Robert Woods? Uh?

781
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:47,759
Speaker 1: More than Locker, more than Hunter. I really believe in

782
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 1: this one and that he's going to be a quality

783
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 1: NFL player. He's gonna play out of the slot this

784
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:55,479
Speaker 1: year like Stevie Johnson, and I think this is one

785
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:58,879
Speaker 1: that at the end of the season we'll say, oh,

786
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 1: it would have been smart to put him on. Uh

787
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 1: many reasons. I have at least six or seven reasons

788
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 1: why I'm not buying Robert Woods. Watching the games, I

789
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 1: went back and watched rewind. Not great after the catch,

790
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 1: not an especially good deep threat. He's basically a possession

791
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 1: receiver with the worst possible quarterback scenario that they have

792
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 1: a possession receiver. He's speedy because not he's but he's

793
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:23,640
Speaker 1: speedy in the way like West Welker, better than that

794
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 1: or Emmanuel standards for that matter. He's quick, quick feet.

795
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 1: I think we'll have to disagree on that. One is

796
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 1: it hard to pick up Bills wide receiver with that quarterback.

797
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. They're in a run heavy offense.

798
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 1: They draft, they traded, you know, an arm and a

799
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 1: leg to get Sammy Watkins. They're gonna get that guy

800
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 1: in the ball. Mike Williams has had at least two

801
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:46,439
Speaker 1: seasons now that that are maybe it will be better

802
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 1: than anything Robert Woods ever does. In his career, he

803
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 1: had over ten touchdowns and in almost a thousand yards

804
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 1: twice and making the case against Woods, you really pegged

805
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:58,919
Speaker 1: him as a number two receiver and but I don't

806
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:02,280
Speaker 1: think that's necessarily a bad thing. One of our friends

807
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:04,920
Speaker 1: down on the newsro and Patrick Carley brought up Reggie

808
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:07,720
Speaker 1: Wayne's name, and obviously that would be a a great

809
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:09,799
Speaker 1: thing if he turns into Reggie Wayne. But I like

810
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:12,479
Speaker 1: the comparison. I think he can be a really good

811
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 1: number two type of guy that that winds up getting

812
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:18,799
Speaker 1: a lot of catches a thousand, eleven hundred yards and

813
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 1: becomes one of those glue guys that you love having

814
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 1: on your teams. Agree on and Reggie Wayne and Peyton Manning,

815
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:27,919
Speaker 1: Robert Woods has ej Manuel until next year when he's

816
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:31,439
Speaker 1: got an artist Mariota or whatever. I don't know any

817
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 1: other quarterbacks going around. Hunley, get some Hunley. Who else

818
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 1: do we want to talk about? We're running out of

819
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 1: time here, um Byron Maxwell. I know Wesleyan is not

820
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:46,400
Speaker 1: I'm not saying you're not sold on him, but I

821
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 1: believe you really painting Wesleyan as the negative, negative guy

822
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:53,439
Speaker 1: that killed everyone here. Well, but there's It's good though,

823
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 1: because we want to get these right and we have

824
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 1: chances too. And the argument could be made that Maxwell

825
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 1: doesn't quite fit the category of them making the leap guy.

826
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 1: Last year, I mean, Richard Sherman allowed the lowest quarterback

827
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:10,280
Speaker 1: rating against him forty seven point three. It's one stat

828
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 1: but the second cornerback in all of football was Maxwell

829
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:15,799
Speaker 1: forty seven point eight. I mean, in a way, he

830
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:18,359
Speaker 1: already fits very well into that secondary and does what

831
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 1: they ask him to do. His role is going to

832
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 1: be expanded. Is that making the leap territory or is

833
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:26,720
Speaker 1: that just what we're expecting him to do. I think

834
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 1: the most um most comfortable position in the NFL is

835
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:36,719
Speaker 1: cornerback opposite Richard Sherman, with Earl Thomas covering your backside

836
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:38,919
Speaker 1: that's a really fair point. I think that's the He's

837
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 1: not going to be exposed in the same right. I

838
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 1: think that's why his stats look so good. He made

839
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:49,439
Speaker 1: plays people forget. He made big game changing plays, big

840
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 1: game changing interceptions at the end of the regular season

841
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:55,839
Speaker 1: against the Saints. In the playoffs, he was really good

842
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:58,720
Speaker 1: in coverage. You could argue that he already made the leap.

843
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 1: I guess that, but people to know about him, and

844
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 1: I think that's more what this list is about. I

845
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 1: could see him having a Pro Bowl type of I

846
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:07,759
Speaker 1: don't disagree with anything you just said at all. I

847
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 1: just would rather write about Marcus Truefont and Xavier Rhodes,

848
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 1: who I think are more talented guys and don't have

849
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 1: a chance to play Desmond Truefont and these guys don't

850
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 1: have a chance to play with Richard Sherman and Earl Thomas, Like,

851
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 1: we're not going to really true makes the list. You

852
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 1: get a little nugget, But I guess what you're saying is,

853
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 1: we're not gonna see Maxwell. If he were put onto

854
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:31,960
Speaker 1: another team and he's the number one cornerback, we'll find

855
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 1: out who he really is. It's hard to find that

856
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 1: out in Seattle, right, he's not gonna be guarding your

857
00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:38,719
Speaker 1: Jlio Jones and A J. Green's all right before we go,

858
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:41,880
Speaker 1: I give you the floor, Wesley, and for Micah, hide

859
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:46,279
Speaker 1: your boy him down. This is a real person, Michael Hyde.

860
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 1: I love this guy. He he was making plays last year.

861
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 1: Their secondary got burnt. All year, the Packers secondary was atrocious,

862
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:55,799
Speaker 1: and you would look up in Michael Hidges the only

863
00:46:55,800 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 1: one stripping the ball, making interceptions, long punt returns, long

864
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 1: kickoff returns. He just looks like a natural playmaker. And

865
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 1: then as soon as the season was over at the

866
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:08,759
Speaker 1: scouting combine, McCarthy told us where this guy's gonna get

867
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:11,799
Speaker 1: a chance to play all three downs? He could be.

868
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 1: They drafted as a cornerback. A lot of people think

869
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:17,399
Speaker 1: he's best suited to safety. They drafted Clinton Dix ha

870
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 1: ha and Hide was first team in in O t

871
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:22,759
Speaker 1: a S. I think if anybody loses their job, it

872
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:26,840
Speaker 1: might be Morgan Burnett. He fits into that new type

873
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 1: of NFL position now, which is nickel corner slash safety,

874
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:33,360
Speaker 1: where you're on the field every down. You're not really

875
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:37,279
Speaker 1: uh that's the honey badger, a true cornerback, but you're

876
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:40,759
Speaker 1: also essentially covering people man to man, so they kind

877
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 1: of our cornerback. There's a few and this is the

878
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 1: forty Niners drafted one of those guys in the first

879
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:48,160
Speaker 1: round this year and we won't give it away, but

880
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:50,840
Speaker 1: he didn't make the list, but some Green Bay Packers

881
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:56,480
Speaker 1: defenders did make nice teaser professional here's another tease for you.

882
00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 1: We got another big show coming up that's gonna be

883
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 1: dropped on Friday morning. We hope to have a special

884
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:06,839
Speaker 1: guest on the show. We'll see if that all works out.

885
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:12,279
Speaker 1: And we also have when West's Toaster coming back on

886
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:15,719
Speaker 1: Monday after the weekend. It's gonna be awesome. We're we're

887
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 1: getting everything ready. We got some good candidates in the running.

888
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:22,440
Speaker 1: Um a few people have survived, would you need and

889
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 1: uh yeah, So we set or we want more people

890
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:27,879
Speaker 1: that tweet. I think we're set. I think we were

891
00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:29,759
Speaker 1: working our way through a list right now. We might

892
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 1: not get to the bottom of that list. We can

893
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:34,400
Speaker 1: find some super all stars at the top. So I

894
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 1: think I think we got to hold off the dogs

895
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:38,680
Speaker 1: for now. But thank you all for for applying and

896
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:41,360
Speaker 1: uh yeah, good luck to uh to those who have

00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 1: Dan will be back in the mix. Dan, I know

900
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:52,880
Speaker 1: you're listening to us somewhere in Texas just to avoid

901
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 1: talking to your in laws for another minute. So we

902
00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:59,839
Speaker 1: miss you, buddy. Quick map update. Oh, I finally got

903
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:03,280
Speaker 1: around to all the tweets that favorite it from our listeners.

904
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:06,239
Speaker 1: I have written down your city. I have a spreadsheet.

905
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 1: Feel free if you haven't seen it yet or you

906
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:10,759
Speaker 1: haven't tweeted me to let me know what city, which

907
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,200
Speaker 1: international city you are from, I'll put it on the

908
00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:16,000
Speaker 1: spreadsheet and we will put these pins in the map.

909
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 1: He's been doing some work on this. This is why

910
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:20,720
Speaker 1: he's not sleepy. Yeah, let's not call him a slacker.

911
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:22,759
Speaker 1: In the middle of the night last night, I woke up,

912
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:25,239
Speaker 1: like jolted out of a bizarre dream and I just

913
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:27,400
Speaker 1: you know how in today's day and age, you you

914
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:29,320
